After going down early, the TMU Bold rallied to down the York University Lions women's basketball team 72-62 Friday night at Tait McKenzie Centre.
 
Despite the loss, the building was packed as the Lions celebrated Black History Month with a ton of half-time festivities, including a fashion show and a musical act.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Lions and TMU kicked off the game in an intense environment. They traded leads, with York beginning the game on an 8-0 run. TMU would then match that with a 12-0 run of their own to take the lead, while holding off York at the end of the quarter. The Bold held a 19-18 lead at the end of the frame. Lauren Golding's 11 points led the way for York.
• The game stayed tight into the third quarter. TMU entered halftime with a two-point lead, 38-36, and extended it to 53-48 through three quarters.
• Rachel Farwell's team-leading 20 points ultimately came in handy in the fourth quarter, as the Bold steadily built their lead and eventually pulled away with a double-digit road victory.
• Golding would finish the game with a team-lead 19 points for the Lions, and a double-double with 10 rebounds as she chases the OUA's rebounds per game crown.

LOOKING AHEAD
 
The Lions will have some work to do as they jockey for playoff positioning down the stretch. They finish their home schedule with the Queen's Gaels on Sunday, Feb. 12, followed by a road trip to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. to close out the season against the Algoma Thunderbirds.
